dio wine bar logo & identity design

Stacey Khoury-Diaz, came to me to help her create a logo for her new natural wine bar to open in DC. The chosen design concept is inspired by the bar’s name, named after Dionysus, the god of wine. The bar focuses on natural wine and will be opening up on H Street in DC. Read more about the bar opening in the Washington City Paper.

The logo is created from the idea of grape vines connecting the letters of the name, to reference dionysus and wine in a subtle way. Overall, we wanted the logo to be a nod to the organic without being too literal or involving cliche wine imagery. We moved away from actual grape images to simple line work that alludes to the vines with iconic leaves and custom illustration.

About Everyday

This is Everyday, an expression of everything in between work and life for me as designer. People will often tell you to separate the two but my professional and personal life is often one in the same.
